In the faranduleo universe, it was an open secret that Manolo Segura, who died this Thursday June 25 from cancer at the age of 77, was Borja's biological father. As much as Carmen Cervera tried to hide who was the architect of making her a first-time mother, the news of her pregnancy and of who was the father spread like wildfire.

He had no descendants with any of his husbands, see, the cinematographic Tarzan Lex Barker -he previously married the actresses Lana Turner and Arlene Dahl-, Spartacus Santoni-ex-husband of Marujita Díaz and Tere Velázquez- and Heini Thyssen, who was attached to the princess Teresa de Lippe - Georg's mother -, the haute couture mannequin Nina Dyer and the extop model Fiona Campbell - mother of Francesca and Lorne - and Denise Shorto, mother of Alexander. Although the nobleman always believed that the stem was from Franco Rapetti, a famous Italian playboy with whom Denise cheated on him.

After Tita Cervera was ruined by Santoni and starred in some films during the Transition, during a dinner she met the publicist Manolo Segura. Between the two a special spark arose since they lived very close in one of the best neighborhoods of Madrid, they started dating, the flirting began and the ex-actress and exMiss Spain became pregnant . Borja was born on July 24, 1980. The following year, Tita would meet Baron Thyssen.

With a reputation as a fortune hunter, the sons of the aristocrat were not amused that their father remarried. The bride denied as active and passive that he had fallen in love for money, because if that was the reason, he would have accepted the proposal of Kirk Kerkorian, a thousand times more millionaire than Thyssen because he was the owner of much of Las Vegas, the MGM and shareholder of General Motors, among other hobbies.

The drop that filled the glass was when Heini Thyssen decided to give Borja his last name. Obviously, the biological descendants put the cry in the sky since they saw that their slice of the cake was going to be quite diminished. But despite the family disputes that led to legal problems due to the inheritance, mainly due to the distribution of his vast gallery, the calm did not come until the signing of the Basel Pact in 2002. And that, in theory, because between Tita and Francesca the tug-of-war still continues.

Although Carmen revealed the true identity of Borja's father when he was twenty years old, the truth is that in privacy, the future heir knew it at a very young age. After the wedding in 1985, the baron had already grown too fond of that playful little blond man who gave him all the joy he needed in those fateful moments. So when his wife proposed that he tell the little boy who his real father was, they arranged a meeting. Said and done. Carmen, Manolo and Heini told the 7-year-old boy who his true father was and how strange it seemed to him, his situation was wonderful because, unlike his schoolmates, he was going to have two parents. This was stated in her memoirs in the magazine Hello! in 2009.

However, you have to have historical memory to know that this was not really the first time he confessed it. He did it in the magazine Protagonista del Grupo Z, where he settled once and for all the rumors. But that fell on deaf ears.

From Borja Segura to Borja Thyssen. In 1987, that young man's life changed forever. He was officially the fifth son who was going to share out a fortune that was estimated at about 2,000 million dollars and a gallery of about 1,700 paintings.

Manolo Segura went many years without treating his son, but in recent years it was common to see him enjoying his four grandchildren in summer on board the Mata Mua yacht, owned by Tita Cervera , who already in 2013 rented it for 16,000 euros a day.
